lyrics

Will you fight or will you fall?
Will you not make it at all?
Well your summer’s almost gone
And you’ve had your bits of fun
Settling some kind of score
Burning down I-94
Nothing’s faster than this car
Nothing’s harder than this heart

If I gave you the key
To open up a door that’s miles away from me
Would you try and twist the lock?
Or would you throw the key away leaving it lost?

I’m sorry for the way I acted
I’m sorry for the things I said
Sorry for being so apathetic
But you probably just want distance instead

Will you tell me that I’m trash?
Will I bow down when you lash?
Well I’m spouting all these tales
Inconsistent and unreal
Derailing my train of thought
Being someone I am not
I write nothing that makes sense
And at nobody’s expense

If I gave you a sign
To let you know that I want you to be mine
Would you blindly make the turn?
And be thankful for what you never learned?

I’m sorry for the way I acted
I’m sorry for the things I said
Sorry for being so apathetic
But you probably just want distance instead

I’m sorry this has no direction
Sorry my face is turning red
Sorry I tried to get attention
I probably just need distance instead

From myself, from my mind
From this town, from this life
From your face, from this house
I just need to get out

I’m sorry for the way I acted
I’m sorry for the things I said
Sorry for being so apathetic
But you probably just want distance instead

Regrets seething through my veins now
Hope your life is good out there
And though for now I plan on staying
One day I’m gonna get out of here

I’m sorry for the way I acted
I’m sorry for the things I said
Sorry for being so apathetic
But you probably just want distance instead

I’m sorry this has no direction
Sorry my face is turning red
Sorry I tried to get attention
I probably just need distance instead
